Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets are becoming increasingly popular with many industries for connecting systems and equipment. Supercedes 929984-01-02, these connectors use mechanical interfacing and offer reliable high speed electrical connections. Connector sizes range from 3.3mm to 13mm with up to 350 contact points, making these connectors ideal for applications in embedded systems.

Application Field

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets are designed to meet industrial needs for low cost, high speed and reliable electrical interconnectivity solutions. They are used for a variety of applications such as communication systems, networking, motion control, sensors, actuators, robotics, machine vision and many other applications.

These connectors are suited to low and medium power applications that require higher density, increased speed and/or increased durability than conventional connectors can provide. Examples of applications include routers, switches, power supplies, measuring instruments, analytical instruments, medical and automotive systems.

Working Principle

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets use an array of pins, sockets, or contacts that are arranged in rows and columns. Any combination of male and female connections can be used to connect two parts. Each set of connectors is designed to work with a specific number and pattern of pins and features a variety of mating styles such as single row, dual row, staggered, or piggyback configurations.

The connection system works on the principle of making a secure electrical connection. Each contact is held in place with a spring clip or similar device that retains the pin in the female socket or in a pluggable housing to a printed circuit board. The contact must be pressed into the socket or female connector to ensure good contact and that the signal is transmitted and received properly.

These connectors are designed with high quality materials to ensure reliability and durability in all types of environments. They are usually tin or gold plated and are corrosion-resistant. The contacts are tin-plated copper with gold-plated mounting pins to ensure a good connection. The pins are crimped or soldered to the contacts, and the sockets are also soldered to the circuit boards. All connectors are thoroughly tested for microleakage and signal integrity prior to shipment.

Conclusion

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets are a reliable and cost-effective way to connect equipment and systems. They are lightweight, compact, and can be used in a variety of applications. These connectors are designed to provide reliable and robust electrical connections and offer a variety of options for different contact patterns. Supercedes 929984-01-02, these connectors are ideal for low cost and high speed electrical connections in numerous applications.
